💸 moneyproduct problem4 reports ●●●●● severity 2/5

What people do today

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A browser extension that scrapes and displays full request metadata from the Venmo web interface.
  2. A third-party dashboard app that aggregates pending requests with full descriptions via API.
  3. A user-led petition or feedback campaign to revert specific UI changes regarding request visibility.
  4. A browser extension that adds a simplified, persistent transaction dashboard to the Venmo web interface.
  5. A user-contributed community guide or interactive map showing the location of hidden features in updated apps.
